Dunkehalla kapell is a small chapel standing in Dunkehalla cemetery in Jönköping, Sweden. Built in a late nineteenth-century Neo-Romantic style from limestone, it remains in use today primarily for funerals and memorial services.



The chapel was designed by the architect Fredrik Sundbärg and built between 1897 and 1898, with a recorded renovation in 1992. Its steep, tiled roof and stone construction give it a compact, sheltering presence among the surrounding graves.

Externally, the building is softened by trailing vines that climb across its walls, while decorative wrought-iron weathervanes mark the roofline, adding a modest ornamental touch typical of the period's ecclesiastical architecture.

Inside, the chapel is small, seating around thirty-six people, reflecting its purpose as a place for intimate services rather than large congregational worship. It continues to serve the cemetery it was built for, linking the building closely to its function as a place of mourning and remembrance.
